Me and my parents ran the NPC for Dartmouth tonight. Our financial situation is complicated because my parents are divorced and remarried, we have several properties that we don’t reside on, child support, etc. The calculator was more optimistic than me and said we would be expected to pay about $45,000 per year. I am well aware that this is a very high number but if I was accepted ED and the calculator provided a somewhat accurate estimate, we would be able to make it work. Most likely we could pay for the first 2/3 years, and with outside scholarships, my own contributions, and contributions from other relatives, we would need to take out minimal if any loans and still be in a good place for my brother. I still think finding more options that are cheaper is a good idea as a backup just in case – we ran the ASU scholarship calculator tonight and that looked promising as well as possibly having a chance for the honors college…? Thank you all for your help I really appreciate it.
